About Me

I graduated from the University of Cincinnati in June 2009. I began my wonderful career teaching first grade shortly thereafter, in August 2009. In June 2016, I completed my Masters with the focus in Reading grades K-6th grade. This will be my seventh year utilizing a blog and hope that it will provide parents with another avenue to view their child's accomplishments throughout the school year.

It was fun to share a special artifact from our past to let our class know a little more about us. We also accomplished our first craft of the year! We have continued to show what we can do in Literacy Stations and we learned our last two. Last, we had fun during our Choosy Suzy assembly. Here are a few photos from our week:

We have been learning all about what We Can do in Literacy Stations these past couple of weeks. As fun as some of the stations are, we have really shown how to use our soft voices as we learn with our friends! It has been a joy for me to watch this process unfold. Additionally, we have learned how to play more Math addition games as well as how Scientists use their senses to explore nature. Here are a few photos from our wonderful week:

I have to mention that our Bengals day paid off with a Bengals win last Sunday!

Hopefully, they can still pull off a win without us dressing up this past Friday...
